They are usually in tablet form, and many need only be taken as symptoms occur. Jedoch, some are best taken at least one month before the hay fever season starts.

Side effects of hay fever medication

Im Allgemeinen, any side effects from taking conventional hay fever medication are minor. Jedoch, the following side effects have been reported: allergic reactions, drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, restlessness or moodiness (in some children).

Severe and/or troublesome side effects should be taken seriously and in any case, if you experience allergic reactions, stop taking the medication immediately and seek medical help. In the case of drowsiness, you are of course advised not to drive or operate machinery. People taking antihistamines are advised to avoid alcohol as it may increase the chance of drowsiness. In all cases, wenn Sie sich Sorgen, consult your GP or a pharmacist.

Nasal Sprays for Hay fever

Nasal sprays can be extremely effective in controlling congestion and stuffiness as well as other symptoms of hay fever because the medicine is targeted directly to the nose, und das ist, wo die überwiegende Mehrheit von Allergenen Ihren Körper gelangen.

Steroid nasal sprays work by fighting inflammation and mucus production, reducing the allergic reaction of your nasal tissues to the inhaled allergen. Very few side effects are associated with steroid nasal sprays.

Both types of spray need several days to build up to their maximum protective effect. Some makers advise that you start using them one month before your hay fever season begins. They depend on being applied properly, so ist es eine gute Idee, den Beipackzettel zu lesen, bevor Sie beginnen,.

Eye Drops for Hay fever

Eye drops work in one of three ways to reduce your allergic reaction to pollen. Some stop the histamine release, some are anti-inflammatory and others block the inflammation caused by histamine. Eye drops can sting momentarily when applied, but if this is the case for you, do persevere because they can bring relief to itchy eyes and help stop watery or streaming eyes. They can be difficult to use at first, partly because you need to get the drop into your eye without letting the dropper touch your eye, aber die meisten Leute bekommen die hängen davon und alle Tropfen kommen mit voller Anweisungen, die Sie geraten sind, zu lesen, bevor Sie.

The usual dose is one drop in each eye up to four times a day once your allergy symptoms begin, and they may take effect immediately, although some take 3 oder 4 days to build up to their maximum protective effect. As with all medicines, always use as directed.

Nasal Washes

Nasal washes work by flushing out excess mucus and irritants from the nasal passage and acting as a barrier against new irritants. Using one may help to reduce the severity of your allergy symptoms.

Immunotherapy works by identifying which tree, grass or weed pollen, dust mite or pet dander causes you to have an allergic reaction. Gradually increasing doses of the offending allergen are then introduced into your body over an extended period of time. If successful, this is the closest thing to a complete cure for allergy. For NHS treatment, you will need to be referred by your GP who will usually do so only if all other hay fever treatments have been tried first and your reaction remains extreme. It is possible to be treated privately; details of private allergy clinics can be found online (beispielsweise hierher).
